The menus for all buttons and cell entries are activated by right clicking
on them.
Rows (left of tableau)
-
Highlight Row - changes the background color of every cell
in the row for emphasis (toggles on/off); useful for classroom discussions.
-
Delete Row - deletes the row from the tableau; one can continue
to pivot in the tableau without errors.
-
Add Row Before - inserts an empty row into the tableau above
the given row; this is usually done while constructing the original
tableau or modifying a copied tableau (if done after several pivots
then further pivots will most likely not be integral); also useful
when adding cutting planes for integer optimization problems, but
you can add a column simulaneously with the cell button
Add Row and Column After instead.
-
Add Row After - inserts an empty row into the tableau below
the given row; this is usually done while constructing the original
tableau or modifying a copied tableau (if done after several pivots
then further pivots will most likely not be integral); also useful
when adding cutting planes for integer optimization problems, but
you can add a column simulaneously with the cell button
Add Row and Column After instead.
-
Fill Row with 0s - enters 0 in each cell of the row;
useful for sparse matrix construction.
-
Fill Row with 1s - enters 1 in each cell of the row;
useful for problems involving convexity and games.
-
Mark as Equality - marks the row as an equality by putting a
red E on the row button (toggles on/off);
the E will remain red until a pivot is
performed in the row, at which point it will change to (and remain)
a green E; useful for remembering
to pivot in a basic variable for an equality constraint.
